Issues changing spark plugs - 2003 I4
While changing my spark plugs at 120k everything came out fine but when i was removing the coil pack connectors every one of the plastic locking clips broke on the wire, not the coil pack. I can probably rig up some zip ties to make it work but was wondering if this is common. I live in SC where it gets quite hot and I'm guessing that the heat and being close to 10 years old equals some brittle plastic. I also managed to snap one of the bolts that holds the coil in the head, it wasn't cross threaded and basically came out just using my hand. I'm getting ready to call the dealership and see if i can get a new bolt. Are these common issues or do i just have gorilla hands? I was pretty careful while doing this and just surprised how fragile it all was.
